LET GOD RULE THE PRESENT
Oliver Cromwell’s personal secretary traveled to the European continent on important state business. He stayed overnight in a room by the seaside, but did not sleep well. The custom of that area was that a servant was to sleep in the room as well. The servant slept soundly. The next morning Cromwell’s personal secretary asked the servant how he could sleep so soundly while he had such a difficult time sleeping. The servant asked the secretary, “Did God rule the world before we were born?” “Certainly, he did!” answered the secretary. “And will he rule it again after we die?” the servant continued. The secretary agreed that God would. The servant concluded, “Then why not let God rule the present as well?” Adapted from World Aflame, by Billy Graham
